Would This Pass Building Code on Hilton Head?


I spent some time on Friday helping put a ceiling in a lady’s home in Capricorn, one of the townships outside of Cape Town. The goal was to install drywall beneath the metal roof to prevent leaks. With three workers crammed into a tiny two-room shack, this was easier said than done. But it got done (mostly), a little crooked here and there, but who’s keeping score? Everything is relative. There are no architectural review boards here. Just lots of neighborhoods with lots of people with lots of homes that barely offer a roof over their heads.

Bro,
Drywall is not real effective at stopping leaks! But you already knew that, right? Proud of you.

However, it is very effective at letting you know you have a leak! Keep up the good work.
